Question:

Allied Real Estate School - scam?

I live in the state of Texas and am working at getting my real estate sales license. I was looking at the TREC website of approve schools and the exam passage rates

Answer:

I wish to echo what Son Of Man and Andy stated about Allied, it is one of the best real estate schools in California to attend to prepare you for your real estate exam and license requirements. This is all the school do is prepare you to take and pass your state real estate exam. Taking a class through any school does not guarantee that you will be successful in any endeavor that you attempt. This include you attending a four year university such as USC, Stanford or Georgia Tech, there is no guarantee that you will be successful or even that you will complete the requirements of the school and graduate. Success after the completion of any course or schooling is really up to the individual. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. FIGHT ON
Do not take your real estate license renewal courses with Allied unless you have nothing better to do to click every 6minutes on the screen to reach your required total course time in order to take your final on each chapter. Finishing the required 45H course may take weeks to finish!!! It s such a waste of time. Take any course that offers PDF version of study where you will be independent to take the finals on six different subjects after tree days you sign up. It has been a week I am still waiting for the hours to reach the required time to take finals. DO NOT TAKE ALLIED ON-LINE COURSES to renew your license. Allied also shut down their system with 24h advance notice. I would have not signed up if I were informed when I made the payment. They take your money without letting you know that will have not have access to your courses. Unethical and waste of time!!!
There are lots of options for you to consider. One is to enroll in courses at your local community college. The instructors are very good since most are real estate professionals and the cost is low. Also, you are guaranteed to learn the material and can get guidance if you need it. Most colleges also have job placement services so you will be ready to roll. The other option you should consider, is being sponsored by a real estate brokerage firm. You'll not only get the courses under your belt, but you may incur no cost at all if you agree to sign on for a couple of years with the firm after you graduate. And you'll be getting experience and guidance from the best of their experienced brokers. I'd select either of these options rather than an online company with complaints against it.
